Junmai Ginjo
Hakutsuru White Crane Junmai Ginjo "Superior"
This _Ginjo_ has a nose of soft ripe strawberries and grass. It has a very mild and dry start that develops into a more fruity finish. A perfect beginner’s example of a “light-and-smooth” type sake with a suppressed sweetness. Old school sake drinkers appreciate the rolling acidity play that rounds off this light _Ginjo_. As the "White Crane" warms in your mouth, one can find hints of ripe fruit and a balanced dryness that goes well with food pairings. **WORD:** Clean **WINE:** Sauvignon Blancs/Dry Reds **BEER:** Ales/Ambers **FOODS:** Steamed crab, sautéed filet of sole, soba noodles.
